Due to the rise of e-Commerce and one- and two-day shipping, consumers expect their shipments quicker than ever. As a result, retailers and their supply chains are more incentivized to prepare for unforeseen turbulence that may present itself in the future.
Maximizing predictability across data-sharing platforms, adapting response mechanisms for when disruptions occur and establishing streamlined business rules all serve to mitigate potential issues across supply chain systems. Similarly, having proven emergency response rules in place allows for greater predictability and management when disruptions do inevitably occur.
